Winds have died down, thank goodness

Whenever the winds kick up for hours on end, rattling the house in unsettling ways, I think of Joan Didion’s seminal essay on gusty weather in these parts. You have to live here for a while to appreciate how unnerving these howling winds can be. Thankfully, they have mostly died down now. Per the LAT, power has been restored locally; the worst of it is over.
